“Gordon, please. My wife is here (on Instagram) too.”

British star chef Gordon Ramsay (60) shared a shirtless photo to mark his 60th birthday.

On the 9th (local time), Ramsay posted a black-and-white selfie on his Instagram. The photo shows him in what appears to be a bathroom, flexing his arms and abs while staring directly into the camera with his shirt off. He wrote, “Thank you to everyone who sent such wonderful birthday messages! Day two of being 60… Let’s go (LFG)!!!!” Ramsay had turned 60 on the 8th, the day before.

The reaction was explosive. According to U.S. media outlet Daily Beast, the post surpassed 215,000 “likes” and 6,000 comments within four hours. As of the 11th, the “like” count had broken past 820,000.

The most liked comment read, “Gordon, please. My wife is here (on Instagram) too.” That single comment alone received over 200,000 “likes.” According to Daily Beast, Leslie Gilliam, a contestant on Season 5 of the cooking competition show “MasterChef” hosted by Ramsay, left the comment, “Happy birthday, Gordon. Now please put your shirt on,” which garnered more than 130,000 “likes.”

Witty comments poured in as well. Reactions ranged from a scream of, “A tempting photo like this at 7 a.m., Gordon!”, to self-deprecating humor such as, “Me waiting for the shower water to get warm,” and jokes like, “He must think he’s still young.” There were fans lamenting, “Gordon, I just got married. It’s too late,” as well as supporters cheering, “Whatever, you look great, Gordon.” A comment reading, “Chef, you really drenched it in lamb sauce (lamb SAUCED)” also drew attention. The scene in which Ramsay yelled at a contestant on the U.S. cooking competition show “Hell’s Kitchen,” “Where’s the lamb sauce?”, is still used as a “meme” on the internet today.

Among the comments reported by Daily Beast were exclamations such as, “You’re 60???” “60 is the new 50,” “He’s in better shape than me in my 30s,” and “You make all of us look like we don’t take care of our bodies.”

Born in Scotland, Ramsay dreamed of becoming a professional soccer player in his youth but switched careers to become a chef after an injury. A Michelin-starred chef, he became a global star through shows such as “Hell’s Kitchen” and “Kitchen Nightmare,” and has over 19 million Instagram followers. He is also known as a fitness enthusiast, having participated in multiple triathlons.

In fact, Ramsay’s birthday is also the birthday of his daughter Tilly. On the 8th, his birthday, Ramsay posted a photo with Tilly and wrote, “Happy birthday to this wonderful young lady. Sharing such a special day with you is a dream come true for a father.” He added, “I cannot put into words how proud you make me. Have a wonderful 25th birthday. But I can’t believe I’m actually 60.”

Fans congratulated the pair together, saying, “Happy birthday to you both.” Ramsay has six children with his wife Tana and welcomed their youngest son in 2023 at the age of 57.
